Crohn's disease versus Yersinia enterocolitica infection — case report — a difficult differential diagnosis

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The aim of this report is to present an unusual case of Crohn's disease affecting the terminal ileum; whose principal differential diagnosis was Yersinia enterolocolitica infection, as the histological features of the resected ileum was common to both diseases. We also describe how the infectious etiology was discarded and the implications for the patient follow-up.
